How did the Bible come to represent the Word of God to mankind? Which Bible best represents the Word of God? There appears to still be a great deal of confusion about why one letter that Paul wrote to the churches in 60 AD, for example, resulted in multiple different translations of that letter in today's Bibles. Based on these questions, the author recognized the need for linking the historical aspects of the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts, in a concise manner, directly to the development of the English Bible and then to the varieties of Bible translations and Bible formats available to today's readers – be they new Christians, mature Christians or those teaching Bible study. This book will address these questions in layman's terminology as well as offer recommendations and discuss options for choosing a Bible based on how the reader is going to use it.
